Ask anyone around and they'll tell you to go to the Amalfi coast, that it is one of the most gorgeous places in Southern Italy. So I decided to take a day trip from Salerno to the town of Amalfi. While I know now that I should have gone to another town, like Sorento, the drive was still amazing as we wound along a small mountain road overlooking the sea and passing through these adorable little villages. So while I found Amalfi to be an overpriced tourist trap (6 euro for a pastry and coffee) town the scenery was amazing.
Round point along the coast of Amalfi.
Ceramic mosaic, Amalfi is known for their ceramics. (Does it say something about my cynacism that when looking at some pieces in a souvenir shop I actually turned them over to see if they said- Made in China.)
Miniture village scene along the road. Apparently it was very popular in the South to make minitures of town life to complement nativity scenes.
A good way to remove trash.
Still not sure about this fountain.
Amazing gold-leaf covered church.
Views along the coast.
